I see the Black Chrome Splice with Oakley on the nose bridge and without it. The pic in the catalog on this site shows it without. Did Oakley produce them both ways or is one an imposter?

Yes exactly, there was a thread about that a while ago.

oakley did produce it this way I believe. the vault store I always go to does carry alot of them still with and without the Oakley on the bridge. this is in any color guys. I did talk to the district manager about this and he said they are legit
